Obviously, Sima Yi did not hope that he would be able to completely conceal Liu Feng by sending troops to Yecheng at night, but he did so after careful consideration.

Only in this way, so that Liu Feng can not know his whereabouts for a while, can he maximize the advantage of his troops, this time is different from the previous Yang Xiu's leading troops, Yang Xiu sent troops through Luoyang, it is obvious that his target is Nanyang, or Wancheng, Liu Feng has to be vigilant is only when the Wei army will be able to reach Wancheng, but this time, obviously things are not so simple.

At this time, three days had passed, although Li Chuang had already brought the news of Sima Yi's troops to Liu Feng for the first time, but he could only know that Sima Yi led the troops out of Yecheng, and as for where he was going, even the shadow guard did not know.

What Liu Feng can imagine at this time is that in a short time, the army of two or three hundred thousand under a certain city will suddenly come, if Sima Yi still chooses the target in Wancheng, then Liu Feng can breathe a sigh of relief, because there are Zhao Yun and Ma Chao guarding Wancheng, it is unlikely that Sima Yi wants to capture Wancheng overnight, but once this breakthrough is chosen by Sima Yi in a place like Shangyong or Jiangxia, it is a situation that Liu Feng is not willing to see.

At this time, Shangyong, there were 40,000 elite soldiers in the county, and the defender was Meng Da, who was originally more familiar with Shangyong in Yizhou, and when he first learned that Cao Zhi was going to send troops to attack him, Liu Feng asked Yangping Pass to strengthen the guard, and on the other hand, he ordered Fa Zheng in Yizhou to go to Shangyong to assist Meng Da, but even so, with Meng Da's ability, it was more than a little worse to deal with Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, even if it was a dead defense, how long the 40,000 defenders could hold out was not something that Liu Feng could predict.

In addition to Wancheng and Shangyong, Jiangxia is also a place where Liu Feng has to defend, because Jiangxia and Jiangdong are adjacent, so when Liu Feng moved his center to Xiangyang, he sent Lu Xun, who had been trained under Zhou Yu for a long time, to guard Jiangxia, Lu Xun because he was one of the governors of Jiangdong before, so he was still very familiar with Jiangxia, since he arrived in Xiakou, he was also active and Lu Su, Huang Gai, Gan Ning, etc., and cooperated with each other to quickly build the waterway defense line of Jiangxia. If Zhuge Liang wants to attack Jingzhou with an army from Jiangxia, it is not easy.

But on the other hand, although Xiakou allocated a lot of sailors, there were not many foot soldiers, only more than 20,000 foot soldiers were stationed north of Xiakou to resist the Wei army.

Although because of the waterway, Liu Feng did not think that Sima Yi wanted to attack Jiangxia through Hefei, after all, if he did so, it would also alarm Zhuge Liang, who should have been sitting on the mountain watching the tiger fight, although Zhuge Liang is now a little declining, but once he perceives that Jiangdong is in some danger, then it is still very possible for him to send thirty or fifty thousand elite soldiers. After all, once Liu Feng was really beaten out of Jingzhou by Sima Yi, the tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Zhuge Liang's hands were not enough for Sima Yi to practice, and with such a huge difference, it was not a strategy and a general who could turn the tide.

In the end, Liu Feng knew that it was impossible for his advisers to make any decisions on his behalf, and he was the emperor of the Han Dynasty who had just taken over from Liu Xie, so in this crisis, he must also show a more tenacious temperament than before, otherwise in the face of the menacing Sima Yi and Cao Zhang, it is difficult to say that the generals and sergeants under his command will not waver in their hearts.

"This time Sima Yi and Cao Zhang attacked, no matter what way they first attacked, their ultimate goal must be to capture the strategic places of Nanyang and Xiangyang counties in Jingzhou, if you can't get these two counties, then Wei's dispatch of troops this time will not be considered a success!"

After everyone had already analyzed the possibility of being attacked in various places with Liu Feng but did not come up with any good strategies, Liu Feng did not appear to be flustered, but directly hit the ultimate goal of Sima Yi and Cao Zhang's expedition.

When everyone heard this, they all bowed slightly, but none of them said anything, they knew that Liu Feng would definitely have the following.

Sure enough, Liu Feng glanced at the most important people under his command, and then spoke: "Therefore, instead of sitting here and guessing the route of Sima Yi and Cao Zhang's march this time, it is very likely that in the end, we will either guess the wrong thing and pay the price, or because we delayed the hour and did not have any effect, and we failed to live up to the information that General Li Chuang desperately sent back......"

"Your Majesty has orders, we will obey all orders, this time the Wei army is coming, not only a test for my Han, but also a great opportunity, if this time we can defeat the Wei army again under the leadership of Your Majesty, I think it will not be far from Cao Zhi's collapse!"

Seeing that Liu Feng obviously had a plan in his heart, Zhou Yu, who knew him very well, hurriedly spoke up, showing his unsparing support for Liu Feng.

"Since the princes have the heart to help me turn the tide, then this time I have decided that I will still hoard heavy troops in Nanyang and Xiangyang for the time being, especially Xiangyang, although there is still Nanyang as a barrier in the north, but it is a place that extends in all directions, if the mobile troops are stationed on the outskirts of Xiangyang, no matter where there is difficulty, you can rush to the rescue at the first time, I don't know what the princes think?"

Liu Feng was not in a hurry to say everything he thought in his heart, and after saying this general idea, he looked at the people in front of him, waiting for their reactions.

"Your Majesty's judgment is indeed very accurate, but if Sima Yi and Cao Zhang directly bring the army to the upper level or Xiakou quietly, and use their ability to attack one of them, I am afraid that its defenders will not be able to hold out until the reinforcements arrive, once these two places are lost, this battle will be very difficult for us......"

Although Liu Feng's identity at this time has become an emperor, Pang Tong still dares to directly raise his own doubts as before, obviously, Pang Tong is not very at ease about the ability of Lu Xun and Meng Da and the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses they only have.

But as soon as Pang Tong's questioning came out, what he got in exchange was not Liu Feng's rebuttal, but Liu Feng's nod saying yes, I saw Liu Feng look at Pang Tong, as if he had expected him to say this, and then smiled: "What Mr. Shiyuan said is very true, the forces in the hands of Lu Xun and Meng Da are indeed difficult to resist the thunderous blows of Sima Yi and Cao Zhang. ”
